1.2.1 "1-OUTPUT" OPTION. CNC --> PERIPHERAL
This option must be selected once the peripheral device has been set ready to receive.
The lower CNC display will show the letter "N".
Depending on what has to be transmitted, proceed as follows:
a) To send the machine parameter table and tool table or zero offset table.
Press the following keystroke sequence: [8] [9] [9] [A-]
The transmitted data is illegible and must be used as a back-up copy either to be sent
back to the CNC later on or to another similar CNC.
b) To send the whole content of the part-program memory, that is from N000 to block
N899, out to a peripheral:
Press: [A+]
c) To transmit the contents of the part-program memory starting at a particular block
number:
Press the number of the first block to be transmitted and, then, press [A+].
For example, The keystroke sequence: [1] [0] [0] [A+] will send blocks N100 and all
the following ones out to the peripheral.
d) To transmit a particular set of blocks of the part-program memory:
Indicate the first and last blocks to be transmitted separated by a period and press [A+].
For example, the keystroke sequence: [2] [0] [0] [.] [2] [2] [0] [A+] will send all the
blocks between N200 and N220 (both included).
The CNC format to send each block consists of 3 digits indicating the block number, the
block contents and the Carriage Return (RT) and Line Feed (LF) characters indicating the
end of the block.
Once all the blocks have been sent, the CNC sends the ESCAPE character indicating the
end of transmission.
Example:
012 G01.91 X130 Y-56.3 F200 RT LF
013 X17.9 M6 RT LF
-
-
369 M30 RT LF ESC
The transmission can be aborted at any time by pressing [CL].
